I can genuinely say those of you who have this amazing store in your backyard I envy you. There's absolutely nothing close to this in California or at least where I live in California. Thank you for sharing this amazing store with the rest of us.
Yes, I'm very lucky to have this place close by. I always thought there was/were shops like this out in California. I'm hearing by other people too what you said.
I totally agree...there isn't any real model shops here in Salem, Oregon anymore...
The last one that I know of closed a year ago and I don't see any opening up around here, and the closest one is up in the Portland area...
@@lawtongore7053 (Sorry) Just noticed your comment, so true, they are disappearing fast. What is the name of the hobby shop in Portland?
Pegasus Hobbies and Brookhurst Hobbies are very good hobby shops in CA
Kudos to that shop owner , it takes a lot of effort to run that place , dedication pales in comparison to describe that shop . Thanks for taking the time to film this and showed to us non kentucky resident .
I agree, so glad you enjoyed the tour of this hobby shop.
wow thanks for helping all the great Mom&pop shops..
So true Jeff!
I lived in Louisville in the late '80's and '90's and this shop started in the basement of an old home that had been converted to commercial property (I think the main floor was a dentist's office). It has come a very long way.
Yes, you are exactly right John..... 👍😊🙂
Love it. That's the kind of shop you walk in rich, and walk out poor, but, very, very, happy. Great stuff Tim !
I agree Pete.... 🙂👍
Amazingly well stocked hobby shop. Thanks for the tour Tim. Have a great W/E pal.
I agree Rick!
This has been my go to hobby shop for about thirty years.
Very cool David!!!!!!!!
went there this year during Wonderfest and was really impressed with the variety and scope of their stock. Regardless of your hobby preference they litterly had something for everyone. Well worth the visit.
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice Tim that's a well stocked store
I agree Brent!
Good thing I am 7 hours away......If I lived near I'd be hungry!!! Thanks
I hear ya Dave!!!!!!!!!
I go here often, blessed to have it in our backyard! Nice tour.
It sure is!
Now that's a hobbyshop ! Have a great weekend. 👍
Thanks, you too Charlie!
So great that some still exist! I owned a hobby shop 20 years ago, for 3 years.
At that time internet purchasing was relatively new and I started getting asked to compete with online prices,
more & more as time passed.
But of course I was expected to provide the service, that the shop had provided in a smaller town, for 20 years prior me
owning it.
Small shops were unable to go online as cheaply & easily as they can now,.
My policy of service (almost only) what I sell, helped people remember the service, that they were missing online.
I'd spent countless hours in magnificent shops as a kid, hoping to recreate that for some kids in my shop.
Single mums sure appreciated the help.
But I took the overall hint and sold out, for what it had cost me to acquire. After making a modest living for 3 years.
Other shops came & went since, all learning it's not so easy. Now everyone sells online regardless of size etc.
That transition period to online selling, was very difficult for many.
Also my risk tolerance for small retail is & was low, I'd never be betting my house on it!
Oh wow, where was your shop?
Bundaberg City, Queensland Australia. I also grew up with a local shop back in Sydney, that was family established way back in the 1960's. Their whole family worked in that great shop and they'd be in the park on weekends having fun with customers. The simple Good old days!
@@GelFireQueensland Oh yes, the good ol days.... 🙂🙂
Wow. Incredible. So grateful for the owner to have that place open. Hope he does good. Would never want a place like that to close.. 👍👍
We agree! 🙂 👍
Man, Tim. That place is AWESOME.
You have to know that it is a big deal when I say this, "I AM JEALOUS!".
Cool........................... 👍🙂
Very nice store. Thanks for sharing Tim. Have a great day.
Thanks, you too Charlie!
That place is a model builders dream. Thanks for the tease. lol
Glad you enjoyed!!!
I grew up in Louisville..this was my goto hobby shop after highland hobbies closed...Brian is the best..i live in San Diego California now..
And i miss that place allot..
Very cool, Brian is a GREAT guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome stuff I love a good model shop I could spend hours and hours and the bad thing is I spend a lot of money
Very true!
WOW .....Going to be a long ride from N.H. That's a great place. Awesome video.That place has got it all.To keep that much inventory is very impressive.If people ever knew how important a hobby shop is,they may go more often.I hope they continue to be available.Thx Dean J.
So true Dean!
Really nice place, Wish we had a good hobby shop around the Chattanooga TN area. Everything we HAD closed the door and left.. REALLY SUCKS 😞 Great video tour of what looks like a great shop. Thanks 😎👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 👍🙂
Here in Michigan, they have been replaced by video games stores and weed shops .
@@johnberry2877 lmao 🤣 Yep! Sounds about right.. This country is gone to CRAP.. 😔
I dropped in today, what a great place!!! I mentioned that your video was what sent me there and they had nothing but nice things to say about you. I spent over $250 and they gave me a 10% discount just for driving all that way to do some shopping!
Aaaaaaaaaa very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@THROTTLEPOWER well worth the trip and I'll be going back!! I love the cute shop pup as well! She's adorable.
@@LiberalsArePoop It's a GREAT shop and yes, she is adorable!! 🙂
That looks like a treasure trove in there. Nice.
It really is Scott!!!
Tim,
Thanks for the FULL TOUR. You are very fortunate to have such a great hobby shop available to you. This is what I remember a hobby shop to be in my youth. This is so much more enjoyable than ordering on line. Which I don't care for .
Do you know if they will ship items?
Thanks again for the tour.
Rick
Yes, very lucky Rick.... Not sure but I put the phone # in the description and your more then welcome to call and ask.
Awesome shop Tim!! When I come through again that's a definite stop for sure!! Thanks!!
Oh yea, you will really like it Mark!!
Myself and a few friends come to Louisville every year for Wonderfest. We discovered this shop a few years ago, and even though there are a number of good shops around SE Michigan, this is now a regular stop on our yearly visit.
Very very cool!!!!!! Also WonderFest is a fantastic show, sounds like a FUN packed weekend!!
We are very lucky to have such a great hobby shop. I've been a Scale Reproductions customer for over twenty years. I'm a R/C guy but a few plastics too.
I agree!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent video, a store like this makes anyone happy. Very good and varied stock for any hobby! Thanks for posting.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Very nice store. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you Dan so glad you enjoyed!
I ever win a lottery, I'm buying a huge store, fitting it out like this and just going to live in it.
Don't care if I don't get much custom... I won the lottery!
Spend the rest of my days just putting model kits together.
Now that would be the life Ed!!!!!! 🙂
YT put your vid in my List of a many. Your vid just jumped out at me. A review of True Blue local Hobby Shop. I loved it A1 I looked them up and I gave you the cred for sending me their way. Just an outstanding Vjdeo. Will be looking for more. Thanks again Fellow Hobbyest. Well for now Over and Out.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Every time I go to Louisville I always stop at this hobby store. I always buy kits,paints,and what ever I fancy. A hobby store such as this is a rare jewel to savior.
Very cool Michael, yes, it's a great shop!!
I have always loved hobby stores!
...thanks for the wonderful tour!
Me too!! So glad you enjoyed the video. 🙂
After I picked myself up off the floor I finished watching the video ..... then I thought about the incredible amount of aftermarket parts and supplies and the money a guy could save if he was able to purchase his parts and supplies under one roof ..... and the savings in shipping, not having to buy things online.
I get lost in my hobby shop.....if I went there you'd see my picture on a milk carton ! 🤣
As always, great video. Appreciate ya !
So true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love that statement about the milk carton 😆😆😆 and I would agree with you about getting lost in a model shop like that one...
@@lawtongore7053 So true!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂👍
Really miss seeing shops like this more often. Thank you for sharing!
I agree!
What an awesome hobby shop. An amazing selection. That is a great place for some one like me who really likes to look at things before I buy them. Thanks for sharing.
Couldn't agree more Michael!
That is one awesome hobbyshop! Looks like the size of a Hobby Lobby when you walk in with out the other stuff you dont care for. Thanks for sharing.
I agree Alan!
I have never seen so many model kits , that is amazing .
Thanks for sharing.
Great video .
Yes, they always stay well stocked Mike!
Without a doubt my favorite hobby shop I go in there once a month
Very cool Daymond!!!!!!!!
We're lucky to have this shop here in Louisville. I lived within walking distance of Scale Reproductions and I would often go in just to enjoy being there.
Very cool Robert!
Thanks Tim for the shop introduction. I’m planning my visit soon.
Cool, I think you will like it Mike!
Love this place ! I was able to visit back in February and I’m definitely coming back.
Very cool Chris!!!
Thanks for showcasing such an awesome shop. I've been a R/C customer of theirs for over 20 years now.
Very cool!
I ❤️ kit is Trumpter / Hobbyboss. Great video and nice hobby shop.
Cool, thanks Kevin..... 🙂👍
Unbelievable wow what a shop I know you Love to go there ,don't have anything around like this would love to though thanks for the look Tim👍👍
Yes, I always enjoy going there Deen!
What a nice Hobby Shop. I live near Lexington and will have to visit next time I am in the area.
So true Quinn, it's well stocked and really nice. I think you will enjoy your visit!!
Thank you for the tour of this classic place I would visit there once a month while transitioning from Illinois to Tennessee at least 12 visits! Can't wait to do a road trip back 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆
Very very cool and thank you for the kind words! 👍🙂😉
I live in Lafayette, this is 2x further than I'm used to driving. Cookeville Raceways has a good model / RC selection, and so far have always had my RC parts. Most importantly the parts and RC vehicles are same price as online!!! That's massive to me, just gas + time cost I guess you could say, but...Instant gratification going into a Hobby Shop.
Oh yea, very cool!!!!
I’m definitely checking this shop out next time I’m in Louisville, I have never seen so much in one spot.
You should!
Damm nice hobby shop!! Thanks for sharing Tim!!!
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great video Tim. The next time I'm in Louisville, I'm checking this guy out! Thanks for posting it.
Cool, you will really like it!
Great vídeo!The model builder Paradise.
Yes, it is!
Great hobby shop brother, thanks for the tour! Rock on man! 👍
I agree Mike!
Then to the car show there last month.And yes I had to stop by!!
Walked out with $180 worth o goodies!!!
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🙂
Awesome Hobby Shop Tim!!!! Thanks for sharing
You bet Mike!
Man what a great shop
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!
It's a great store run by a great group of people. It's worth the drive, with good local places to eat. All departments are very knowledgeable in their inventory, if you don't see it, they more than likely can get it. SEMPER FI
So so true!!!!!!! 👍👍🙂
Wow,reminds me of the Hobby Shop I grew up in back in Clearwater,Fla,The House Of Hobbies,only more clean! The 60’s was a good time to be a plastic modeler!
Very cool Maurice!
A 1964 olds F85 convertible? DAMN!
Yes, I agree!
Man, I wish there was a place like this close by! Best I've ever seen!
I agree Paul!!!!!
what a great shop. Nice to see when so many others have disappeared. Will have to make it there when I get to Wonderfest again, thanks for sharing
So true, and it's only about 20 minutes from WonderFest. He has a lot of people come into the shop that are in town for WonderFest.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱‼️‼️‼️‼️ Freaking Amazing Store ‼️ Thanks For Sharing Tim and The FB PAGE TOO👍👍 GBA,,, Gary.
Cool, glad you enjoyed Gary!
👍👍👍
@@garyparker2969 🙂
Sweet shop buddy!! Thanks for sharing buddy!! ✌️
I agree Jared!
Makes me happy to see an open hobby shop. Here in Michigan, we used to have lots of them. However, the people who used to frequent the have left the state. Now, all that is left is video game stores.
Yea, so true John.
These people have a bunch of rc parts that big shops like hobbytown don't. The guys here are also experts in the rc hobby and they usually know what parts you need.
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing 👍👌
Glad you enjoyed Rick!!!
Great shop ,I wish we had one like that in Atlanta.
Not many shops left Paul, glad you enjoyed the tour!
Oh man. I go to Louisville every year for Wonderfest and NEED to go.
It's an easy drive there from WonderFest (and pretty close). I think you will really enjoy the visit!!
Very nice hobby shop.
It sure is Earl!!
thanks man! hope to visit one day
Cool, I think you will really enjoy it William!
It's probably THE ONLY HOBBY SHOP in Louisville Kentucky now! My brother buys his slot cars there.
Aaaaa very cool Paul!!!!!
I made it 5 minutes in and couldn't see, because there were so many man tears in my eyes. 😥 I'm out in So. Cal. and I haven't seen a hobby shop that magnificent in years! There are still a small handful of good, small shops I can go to, but I remember one roughly that size back in the 80's and it was heaven for me.
I hope that things may turn around, and the hobby gets the kind of attention and support that it used to. It's possible. I have a nephew who's about 17/18 and he was heavily into Lego... now I understand he's very much into plastic models! Hope for the future. 😉
Very well said Eric!!!! 😊👍🙂
Woow 😃 thank you for sharing I've in joy this video from beginning to end hope to si another one thank you for posting video 😀👍.
Glad you enjoyed it, yes, I have other hobby shop tours I've done in the past you would enjoy.... 🙂👍
@@THROTTLEPOWER defiantly with out a doubt thank you for sharing 🙂👍🙌.
@@THROTTLEPOWER just wanted to coment that i would be cool you can get the store number so us viewer's can make a order on product we see 👀 in the store thank you for posting videos 🙂👍🙌.
@@maonponce986 I thought it was in there.
@@maonponce986 I just looked Maon, it's in the video and the description along with the address.
Outstanding
I agree Matt
I definitely have to plan a trip soon
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mate Wow Just Wow. I am going to email them if you guys have started to post down under again. Great Episode Cheers Jason
So glad you enjoyed the video Jason... 🙂🍻
Great video! I live 3 minutes down the road from there. I work on the other side of Kroger at that strip center at Wicks! I go there for everything!
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You for the video. Living in Indianapolis this might be a road trip destination. Hobby Shops are becoming a thing of the past (like myself!!!!)
I talked to a shop owner in Richmond Indiana, he said if people don't start supporting the shops that are still open. Then there will be none for the next generation, like a lot of other things. Btw, I'm from Greensburg. So this place will be a road trip for me in the near future lol.
Haans or Haas something like that. I've been there. He told me the same thing I'm from Anderson and it's getting more difficult getting to these places with gas prices. THANKS O'BIDEN!
@@kennyspaulding796 yeah that doesn't help lol. Thankfully I don't have a vehicle that cost me over a hundred to fill up.
Glad you enjoyed Kevin!!
@@THROTTLEPOWER sorry, I had to vent. I know this is not a platform for it, in fact I come to this channel to get away from that garbage.
Hell of a shop there, Tim!
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!!!!, what a great hobby shop
I agree Tom!
One of the best hobby shops around I stop in every time I am in town
Very cool Doug!!!!!!!!!!
As always great video brother.
Thank you Jamie, much appreciated!!
The hobby shop display at the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) museum in Muncie, Indiana is great. It’s a recreation of a 1950s era shop specializing in flying model airplanes.
Very cool Todd!
Just moved to Louisville. I have this place saved to go check out when I get some free time.
Cool, I think you will really like it!!!!
This is my local shop. Great for everything. I switch hobbies all time and they always go the ones I hop to. Rc first, then model cars, then gundams, painting, etc etc.
Well said!
Big truck models are my favorite and hard to find, I’d love to go to that shop.
Same here, love building the trucks!
That's the Willy Wonka Chocolate factory of hobby shops. Most excellent. Thanks for showing Tim.
It sure is Skip!
Didn't have a clue this place existed! Got to check it out!
Yes, you will really like it!
I live in the Louisville area and yes, it is awesome.
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dam ,i wish we had a shop like this near my home.
Not many shops left Jon, I'm very lucky to be able to visit this shop!
Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove, CA and Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair, CA used to be like this. But no more. They stopped carrying a lot of the aftermarket stuff.
I've always heard good things about Pegasus Hobbies, I have always wanted to go there.
I've just randomly come across this video....
Wow! My local shop here in the UK is fairly large and well stocked, but I think that the entire shop would fit in just a 3 or 4 of the shelves shown here...
Oh wow, very interesting David.... It's pretty big, I'm very very lucky to have this shop fairly close by.
Cool models
I agree Randy!!
I drive from Madison to go there , great place!
Very cool George, yes, it's a GREAT place!!!!!!
I miss the Tom Daniels model selections from the 70's.
Me too Buck, but one by one, here and there Revell has been releasing a Tom Daniels kit. As they do I try to get one and build it.... 🙂
I haven’t been in a hobby shop for years and I’m 67 years old , as a kid the shops had the basic kits Revel , Monogram etc .
Nothing like today , all of these great extras and add ons . Very cool . Sadly the eyes and hands do not work like they used to but it’s nice to see how these other hobbiests go the extra mile on their kits to get that realistic feel
Glad you enjoyed the video Raymond.... What did you like to build back then?
Ahhh go on... get a magnifying lamp, good pair of tweezers and a kit or two and just have some fun!
Even a walk through a shop like that makes you feel energized - although it does make you want to buy everything in sight!
@@edkrzywdzinski9121 So so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great shop! As far as the HO & N scale locomotives and cars, the model railroad industry went through a marketing strategy change a number of years ago. The manufacturers now announce what locos and cars they’re planning on releasing well in advance of the actual production, often more than a year ahead! If it’s something you’re interested in, you have to “reserve” how ever many you want, and then wait a year! Production runs are very limited, and if you don’t reserve what you want, you’ll likely never get one! The days of display cases stacked full of a wide variety of locomotives are long gone!
Yes, things sure have changed Tom.
Plus, if they do not receive enough pre orders they will not release the item.
@@THROTTLEPOWER Yes. It’s like the federal government got involved or something! Ha!
@@troublew1 👍
Nice video Tim!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!
really cool place like to see something like that close to me. we have a hobby lobby but its more like a michaels
I understand that Mike, unfortunately there just are not many Hobby Shops around anymore. And yes, Scale Reproductions is a cool place!!!
